Abstract

In order to address the challenges of small and micro-water pollution in parks and the low level of 3D visualization of water quality monitoring systems, this research paper proposes a novel wireless remote water quality monitoring system that combines the Internet of Things (IoT) and a 3D model of reality. To begin with, the construction of a comprehensive 3D model relies on various technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tilt photography, 3D laser scanning, unmanned ship measurement, and close-range photogrammetry. These techniques are utilized to capture the park's geographical terrain, natural resources, and ecological environment, which are then integrated into the three-dimensional model. Secondly, GNSS positioning, multi-source water quality sensors, NB-IoT wireless communication, and video surveillance are combined with IoT technologies to enable wireless remote real-time monitoring of small and micro-water bodies. Finally, a high-precision underwater, indoor, and outdoor full-space real-scene three-dimensional visual water quality monitoring system integrated with IoT is constructed. The integrated system significantly reduces water pollution in small and micro-water bodies and optimizes the water quality monitoring system.
